Panorama

Panorama I made by stitching three photos together. Shot was taken at the second location I found yesterday. Very happy with how this turned out.

LOL!

Never think that a camera will make photos better. Granted, there are definitely advantages to having a DSLR, but the camera never makes the photographer. Thanks for the compliment!

Hi there! I see that you are from Austria. I'm living in Switzerland at the moment. Where were these pictures taken?

Here's one from me. En route to the Emosson Dam near the Swiss-French border.
